So i purchased some apps on android market on my old Evo 4G. Now that i have the 3D im not sure how to get those apps on my phone. The Sprint Employee set up my phone and asked for my gmail account. I gave him the one i have all my contacts in but my market account is on another email.
How do i set up the market on a different account?
You'll have to merge your contacts into the account you want the apps from. The sync account on the phone is "google" i.e. the whole thing (contacts,calendar,market,gmail,etc.). You could use an app to backup your contacts to SD and then sign off/delete the current google acct. in settings/acconts + sync, then sign on the correct one, and import your contacts. Hope this helps.
You can add another gmail account and access that way. More than one gmail accounts are allowed.

Hi All,
I have multiple gmail accounts that I use on my Atrix. Only one of the accounts, however, is my "primary" account where I have all my contacts set up properly, the others I really just use for email. For some reason, one of my additional gmail accounts had contacts sync activated and I want to remove JUST the contacts from that sync account. Would removing the sync account delete all the contacts (and other PIM data associated with that sync account) from my phone? I can always re-add the gmail account and make sure that only the email syncs.
Thanks!

Try tapping the the accounts icon in the main app screen....it'll list all your accounts....then tap on the account you want to modify...then uncheck everything you don't want it to sync.
I did that already as soon as I discovered those contacts, but they're still there...which is why i'm wondering if removing the account altogether will remove it's PIM data...
I think you have to manually delete them. I wanted to do this but having two accounts just kind of borks it and you have to live with it. It really isn't that big a deal. I mean you do have a backup account in case somebody hacks it or the server is down for one email account.
I voided my warranty and your mum.

There is an app in the market called "Contact Remover Plus" that will do just what you need. It's not free, but it works great. I had the same issue. It will allow you to remove contacts from only one account and also allows you to transfer them from one account to another.
I am getting a New Samsung Galxy S-2 and would like to know how to transfer or restore my contacts, here's the Glitch.
I have a Atrix, and the Gmail Account is Different than the Gmail Account Im planning to use on the SGS-2.
How do I get the 465 contacts from one Google account to another?
Thank you In advance
Larry
go to contacts on the atrix
menu, and find the import/export
export to sd card
take the .vcf that it creates, and import it in your new phone. dont know of any way to take it from one gmail account to another.
i have to ask WHY you want to do it this way though?
why are you using a different gmail account?
My Primary email is a roadrunner account, I did something stupid I included "Atrix" in my gmail name.
I didnt get the Samsung yet, so I was try to figure out how to synch or get the contacts over to the new email
PirateGhost! you did it!
Hey thank you, you did it, you made me think..... I exported the entire 465 contacts to a Google File like you said, but I did it on My PC! and to my Desktop. I then Logged into the new Gmail Account Im going to use for the Galaxy S-2, and Imported them. Blink their all their.
Now when I log into the gmail account (New One) on the SGS-2, the Contacts will automatically show up on the phone????

yep. sure will
I am in the process of setting up and exploring my new Note. It appears that a lot of this involves a Google account. I have an old Google account, but it does not use a gmail email.
Will I have to setup a separate account with Gmail to access the extras?

I think you can just use your Google account. It should still give you access to the market.
But to be safe.... I'd make a Gmail account. Great way to manage your contacts, calenders, etc
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717
I have the phone running Android 2.3.4 (rooted).
I have two Google accounts setup on my phone. I use both of them as there are apps purchased from both accounts.
I would like to sync contacts from my phone to BOTH the accounts. As of now, contacts are being synced to just one Google Account. In the "Accounts and Sync", I see both the Google Accounts listed, with the "Sync Contacts" option enabled for both accounts.
Is it possible to sync contacts to both GOOGLE accounts from the phone? If yes, how?
Any help is appreciated.
Shameless bump... any help please?
So you want to have
Contact X to be on both Google Account A and on Google Account B at the same time? and have it appear two times on your phone?
I want contact X to be shown in both google accounts, A & B. However, I will prefer no duplication in the phone.

I'm also interested in this. In Options/Filter you can choose which accounts will display contacts, so you can avoid seeing duplicated contacts. Basically I'm interested in keeping the contacts in my personal Google account (which is the one synced with Outlook, to which I add new contacts) synced with my school Google apps account and ideally my Live account, for when I have to use the webmail interface of either one of those two. An option that pours (one-way sync) the contacts from one account to the other is also ok, as I don't expect to have anything synced from my school or Live account to my personal one.
I have set up a Gmail account as required to use the Google market.
I don't allow this email to backup my contacts etc. Just to be able to use the Google Market.
I need to to set up my primary Gmail account without having it linked to the device. The normal email account set up doesn't allow me to download attachments and is not stable.
How can i do this?
Thanks.
Are you using the gmail app from the market? Works fine for me. I have 2 gmail accounts.. 1 for market, 1 for other stuff, both work with the app.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes I use the Gmail app from the market.
Once installed and before I enter my main Gmail account it asks me to resync, which I do.This brings up the default gmail account needed to run the phone.
Then I can add another Gmail account but it links it to the phone which I don't want it to do. I want to keep my main email account separate from the phone. i.e I don't want it to have all my details in the phone to be in my primary Gmail account. ( if that makes sense).

I am not sure I understand your problem entirely, but if it is of any help, you can choose what to sync and what not to sync to your account from the Settings-> Accounts.
